Wandered Away.

The relatives and friends of Oliver Holt, of
Mechanic Falls, have been greatly agitated
for two days as to his whereabouts. He has
been ailing and feeble for a long time, and it
was decided that nothing but an operation
would relieve him. Monday he was taken
to the Maine General Hospital, when it was
arranged to perform the operation at II a.
m. Tuesday. On his friends calling at this
hour, it was found that he had mysteriously
disappeared. Tidings were heard of him at
3p. M, the same day, at Falmouth, walking
in the direction of the Falls. Wednesday
his brother John found him at the depot at
Lewiston Junction, in an exhausted condi-
tion, having walked from Portland to that
station, lain out all night, and eaten moth
ing. He was unable to talk intelligibly, and
it is supposed that his enfeebled condition,
and the thoughts Of the coming operation
deranged his mind. He was brought home

A Small Delegation Probable.

1t appears probable that the Maine delega-

ly in that city. They did not dress in style
to indicate that they were accustomed to so
much money, so that made their actions the
more suspicious. Wednesday afternoon he
saw one of the men coming out of pawn
shop. That, too, was suspicious, so Abbott
followed him to the corner of Norman and
Merrimac streets. There he met his COM
panion of the preceding night and showed
him something. Abbott arrested them on
suspicion, and took them to the station
house. They gave the names of John Sheri-

Portland. In Sheridan's pockets were found
pawn tickets for two silk dresses, a iady's
cloak and several articles of children's cloth

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
The Well Known House of w. L.
Wilson & Co. Celebrates Its Silver
Anniversary,


August 18th, 1862, Mr.. Frank w. Stockman
came to this city and went into Mr.. w. L.
Wilson's grocery store as clerk. There he
remained with Mr.. Wilson in the Row. on
Congress street until after the great fire,
when MI Wilson decided to move to what
was then more central position and accord
ingly located next to the corner of Federal
and Exchange streets. When he made the
change he invited Mr.. Stockman to go into
partnership with him. The change of loca-
tion and the infusion of young blood into
the concern had an admirable effect. The
business of the house took great start, and
now the establishment-Mr Wilson died liz
1S72-which at first, embraced only the part
ners, and occupied the store next to the cor
ner, includes fifteen employees, and not only
the old store-now store,room--but also
the great building on the corner.
The firm of w. l.. Wilson & Co, are known
not only over Portland. but throughout the
State, as dealers in fine groceries. They
have gained their reputation by always hay
ing the best goods that can be procured and
selling them at fair prices. If any novel
delicacy appears in the grocery market w.
l.. Wilson d Co. are sure to have it, Like
Park and Tolford of New York, or S. S.
Pierce of Boston, w. l.. Wilson & Co. hold
an equal position in Portland: This has been
Mr.. Stockman's ambition from the time he
was but clerk, and he now sees that ambi-
tioE gratifed.
1t was very proper therefore that, as yes
terday marked his twenty-ffth anniversary
as Portland grocer, Mr.. Stockman consid-
cred it pleasure to celebrated the event in
quiet way. For the past two months he
has been living at his pretty summer cottage
at Pond Cove, and last evening he invited all
his employees to take supper and spend the
evening with him.

ROWING AT PEAKS, ISLAND.
Two Exciting Contests at the pIrI-
sgo's Regatta.

The weather yesterday was ANYTHING Init

programme which the Dirigo Boat clnb had
arranged for their annual regatta at Peaks

looked as Thought might clear off, the oars
men lett the boat house In a feet and start

The Dlrigo Boat Club decided that the
races should be rowed, aud about two
O'Clock Referee McShane ordered the Junior
Tours to get ready. They responded prompt
~ 10 the referees call, and no time was lost
In getting into line. The crews were:
Dlrlgo, No. 1-Gibbons, (bow), Ney, Brown
rlgg, ODonnell .(Stroke)
Dirigo, No. 2-keehan, (bow), Nolan, Myers,
At the word 60" both crews made fine
start. No. having a slight advantage
NO. made rush for the lead which was
promptly responded to by No. 2, and both
crews went to the turning stake at a rafting
pace, making as fine race as is often seen,
first one leading by few feet, and then the
other taking it from them by squirt. They
receded from the first turn with No.
leading by half a length, but the crew
lost this slight advantage to No. 1, who
made the best turn. They started for the
second turn rowing like veterans, fighting
every inch of the way, and when No. 9
"downed" their oars for the second turn
they had almost length lead on No.
Right here they had a piece of hard luck
that probably lost them the race.
One of the steamers had Just
passed and they got the full benefit of the
swell. No. being nearer the shore did not
feel 1t so much. No. 2 was not to be discour-
aged, however, and on the home stretch
again drew up level with their opponents
but were unable to gain the lead, and No. 1.
crossed the line winners by half length.
In IAN. rs. No. 2 would like to row the
winners again.
The next race was the junior single. The
starters were Frank Cotton, NJ Ney, j.
O'Donnell, and NJ. Ii. Myers.
At the start Myers led but bad steering
lost him his chance of winning O'Donncll
made the turn first, ..bout length in adj
vance OF Ney, with Cotton far behind all
the contestants. Myers at the start for the
third turn got up even with O'Donnell, Ney
having dropped behind by a mistake at the
previous turn. Myers again got off his
course, however. and O'Donnell was an
easy winner. He crossed the line in lon.

Before the other races could be rowed the
rain came down down in torrents, and as it
showed no signs of abating Referee
McShane postponed the three remaining
races until Saturday afternoon between

those rowed yesterday, they will be well
worth witnessing.
